Edits to Appropedia by me are as a regular member of the community, and sometimes as an admin. Unless otherwise stated, they are not legal or official actions as a director of the Appropedia Foundation. I know this box is ugly. If you know how to make it look better, feel free :-). |

Registered on Appropedia on 26 June 2006.
I'm an Australian engineer with a passion for sharing knowledge to make a better world, and I've been involved in Appropedia since the very early days. I spend most of my time in Asia, especially Indonesia.
What I'm doing here
I'm an admin on Appropedia, and I help to...
- Work on the project pages
- Promote Appropedia
- Support the community
- Perform "gnome" tasks (I run ChriswaterguyBot)
Specific tasks I'm focused on now:
- Finding funding
- Ekopedia merger
- Porting - esp finding help in converting appropriate PDF documents and web pages to MediaWiki markup.

My favorite videos (on appropriate technology etc) are on my Youtube homepage.

Microblogging: Identi.ca & Twitter
Follow me on Identi.ca, an open source microblogging service that gives you more freedom than Twitter (and also lets you link to Twitter). But I use the same usernames on Twitter:
I manage Appropedia's Identica account and Twitter account, and my personal Identica account and Twitter account. Below are the Twitter feeds:

Language fluency box templates for user pages
Hi Chris,
I've seen boxes on user pages on other wikis that describe the user's language fluency. I wanted to add one of those to User:Kili's page, and came to your page to grab the template. Surprise! Not there. How do you feel about these templates? I'm biased toward all multilingual folks jumping in with that, partly as a means to help build out our non-English connections, perhaps make us more welcoming? CurtB 09:19, 16 February 2011 (PST)
